"That's good." Su Ming'an whispered.

When he was about to leave, the old lady said: "City Lord, do you still remember me?"

Su Mingan was slightly startled.

He moved his gaze downwards and looked at the nameplate on the old lady's chest. There was a line of text on it: [Deputy Chief of the Eagle Dog Anjie].

The old lady took off her military cap, and a few strands of blond hair mixed with messy white hair were flying. She raised her head in the light, raised her wrinkles, and smiled:

"There will always be people who will never forget that period of history."

"City Lords, generation after generation, there are always people who live their lives as tombstones for the deceased."

…

Dawn War Stele Forest.

The dark tombstones stand one after another. Looking around, the mountains and plains are like a black forest.

There were many people standing quietly or laying flowers here. When Su Mingan arrived, everyone was very quiet.

Su Mingan's fingers traced the names on the tombstone, and Xiaomei stood aside quietly. Under the warm yellow light, the names on the tombstone reflected the broken light like fish scales.

"There are many familiar names in history." Xiaomei said softly.

"I remember almost every one of them." Su Mingan stared at these names, and their faces seemed to be still in front of him.

Some people like sunflowers, white birds, and call them grandpa childishly.

Some people would call him Xiaoshuai, and they would braid him every year during the Fuyuan Festival. Fortunately, she died at the end of her life.

】

There is no her name on the tombstone, but he always remembered her. She liked dark lipstick and blue skirts. She always said she loved him until her death.

Someone was a young man with a bright future, but later he endured humiliation and hardship for decades for a source-destroying bomb, and finally gave his life to hand the truth and the source-destroying bomb into his hands.

Someone left in a church. He was the oldest among the leaders, and he paved the way for people until his death.

Su Ming'an's eyes moved downwards and saw a somewhat new tombstone.

His eyes narrowed and he whispered:

"The owner of this tombstone is a doctor in the field of biochemistry. I said goodbye to her in the hospital. I remember that during the War of Dawn, her body was still strong. In the end, I could only see her haggard in the ICU.

s face."

"My condolences." Xiaomei said.

His fingers slid over the tombstone, and familiar or unfamiliar names passed before his eyes.

Yue, Qi, Xia Cheng, Feisi, Staci, Jocelyn, Marcia, Andwis, Baird, Anita Yalin...

…

[City Lord, I am Staci! Nice to meet you! 】

[City Lord, I am Andwis of the Free Alliance, and it is an honor for me to fight under you.]

[City Lord, I am Yaoguang mercenary Anita...]

[City Lord, I am Hope City City Lord Yalin, here to support the battlefield...]

【City Lord,...】

…

Finally, Su Mingan's eyes dropped, focusing on the T-0321 mechanical ring on his finger, and a slight sound came from there:

"Everyone is here."

...are all there.

They are all here, sleeping on the earth where spring flowers are blooming, in the spring that they have so longed to enter.

He turned around and looked at the silent crowd. Among the crowd, there seemed to be an old man holding a vermilion sniper rifle, and he met his gaze.

The old man was stunned for a moment, then opened his lips and smiled slightly.

The teeth are sparse and wrinkles are dense, but the smile is youthful.

Night enveloped the city, and the clock tower rang the twelve o'clock bell.

"Dang——dang——dang——"

White birds fluttered their wings, and ginkgo leaves lifted into the sky with the wind.

In the distance is the Times Central Building that reaches straight into the sky. This 132-story cube building stands among the dark gray clouds and mist, forming a bustling city scene with overpasses and light rails.

Nearby, there are 26 unmanned light rails speeding by, 6 CCTV towers, and the fist screen icon representing the city of measurement.

In the square, Akto's stone statue still stands, with wild flowers surrounding him. Tonight people are holding a memorial ceremony, and tens of thousands of residents light up lights, stop near the statue, and stand in silence with their heads bowed.

"Woo——"

A sound like an air raid siren sounded, alarm bells rang, and people were silent.

After the alarm bells subsided, people after the night shift boarded the light rail, white-collar workers selected hot drinks from vending machines, drones carrying express delivery flew in the night sky, and workers built the collapsed buildings brick by brick...

Advertising signs hung high in the high-rise buildings still play product introductions in a loop: "Newly developed mood stabilizing agent by the Holy Church", "Reducing point reading machine every step of the way", "Akini Refrigeration Refrigerator".

——In the brilliant white light of teleportation, these scenes are so peaceful and tranquil.

Su Mingan was wrapped in white light.

People looked up and realized that Su Mingan seemed to be leaving. They immediately presented the wild flowers in their hands to him and shouted loudly, trying to persuade him to stay.

Su Mingan just took out a red cloak from the grid of his backpack, folded it neatly, and placed it in front of everyone's tombstones. Then he placed a golden medal symbolizing the commander-in-chief of the War of Dawn on the cloak.

After doing all this, he stared into the distance.

His figure slumped away bit by bit, and Xiaomei still held his sleeve tightly, but felt the touch on his fingertips disappear bit by bit.

"Xiao Mei." Su Ming'an suddenly said: "Let the Liming System arrange it and help you take a look at your body. Rose blood-related diseases are currently difficult to treat, but it is not impossible."

The little eyebrow was slightly startled.

"The girls in the fringe areas will be saved, and those flesh-and-blood businesses will soon be banned. The city-state order will be re-established, and a sufficient welfare system will allow everyone who can support themselves to survive." Su Mingan said:

"Go and meet a new life."

"If you want to grow flowers, go ahead and grow flowers. If you want to raise fish, go try it. If you want to go to college, you will have a chance."

Xiaomei covered her mouth, tears falling from her eyes.

She is a strong girl, as tough as a reed. She cried so rudely because she was reluctant to give up.

"In the future...will I never meet someone as good as you again?" Xiaomei cried.

Su Mingan smiled and patted the tombstone next to him, as if patting his comrades on the shoulders.

"Billions and billions, sleeping and awakening." He said: "They will all be better than me."

At night, many people rushed here. When they saw Su Mingan was about to leave, even though they didn't know the situation, they still gathered in a row and shouted:

"——City Lord, we will live a good life!"

"There will be a better new life! It will definitely be possible in the ruined world!

"

"Although I don't know where you are going, I wish you a safe journey!"

The brilliant white light became dazzling every moment, people's voices overlapped in his ears, and there was even a line of emojis waving in the crowd. At first glance, it was from a girl with blue eyes. She was smiling and waving to him.

.

Su Ming'an looked away, and in the distance, there was a slender figure holding a rapier standing under the ginkgo tree, smiling goodbye to him.

Su Mingan waved to her and saw the shape of her mouth.

【See you in the next world.】

The same agreement, different meetings.

She will move on to a new life.

And he will go to the next point in time.

The scene in front of me disappeared bit by bit, and the white light gradually obscured the entire field of vision.

"Doctor, before you leave." Xiko's voice suddenly sounded from behind:

"-Can I hug you?"

"Okay." Su Mingan said.

He felt a slight touch on his back, and Xi Ke's transparent figure solidified little by little. She condensed into a body and hugged him gently.

The chest and abdomen were not touching, there was only a thin line between them. Xi Ke's hugging gesture was restrained and polite, not offensive in the slightest.

Su Mingan didn't move, and the white data around her was like flowing fireflies. It reflected her drooping, sea-blue eyes, which also looked like a sea of ​​blue stars.

It is obviously just an AI belonging to the Dawn System, an existence that is difficult to possess even as a physical entity, but her embrace is like a real human being. The gap between program and life has become increasingly clear.
